Raspberry Swirl Sweet Rolls

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup warm milk (110°F)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

For the Raspberry Filling:

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp cornstarch

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp milk

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Raspberry Filling: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. Let it cool completely.

Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 12x15 inches. Spread the cooled raspberry filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.

Make the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls before serving.
